Extract Excel formulasList every formula in a workbook with its sheet and cell, to audit or document it. Reads Excel (XLSX, XLSM), OpenDocument (ODS) and Apple Numbers, in any language — a French SI() or a German WENN() comes out as written. XLS and XLSB carry formulas that this reader cannot always surface, and CSV or TSV hold none by design: they store results, never formulas.Extract AudioPull the audio track out of a video as MP3, AAC or WAV.Extract links from a PDFList every external link a PDF carries, taken from its annotations rather than its text.Extract PDF pagesPick the pages from their thumbnails, then save them as one PDF — or as one PDF per page. Metadata included.Extract a ZIP fileOpen a ZIP, TAR or GZIP archive and download any file inside it, one by one.Extract frames from a videoPull still images out of a video — one you pick on a slider and see before extracting, a fixed number, or one every few seconds.EML to HTMLSave the HTML part of an email as a standalone page you can open in a browser.EML to textPull the readable text out of a saved email, decoding quoted-printable and base64 bodies.

Extract email attachments works straight from this page — free, instant, nothing to install. You will find it under Email, with Extract Excel formulas and Extract Audio for the neighbouring cases.

Frequently asked questions

What does Extract email attachments do?

Pull every attachment out of a saved .eml message and download them separately.

When would I actually use this?

Reading a message exported from a mailbox you no longer have open, pulling the attachments out of one, and turning an mbox export — one long file holding a whole folder — back into messages you can open one at a time.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading a raw header as if it were text. Any header may be encoded, so a subject with accents arrives as base64 and shows as gibberish taken literally. The matching trap is in the body: a line that happens to begin "From " is not a message boundary, and treating it as one cuts the message in half without changing the message count.

What else is filed next to it?

Extract Excel formulas, Extract Audio and Extract links from a PDF share its section. They are not variants of it — being filed together is not the same as being alike — but that is where to look if this turned out not to be the tool you wanted.

Where do the figures come from?

Messages are parsed against the mail and MIME specifications, in the browser, so nothing is sent anywhere — which matters more for mail than for most files. The mbox separator is matched on its full shape, sender and date together, rather than on the two words it starts with.

ExplainerConverting Formulas to Values Keeps the Cached Answer, Not the CalculationA spreadsheet file stores both the formula and the last answer Excel computed. Stripping the formula leaves the stored answer — and leaves a blank wherever the file never carried one.ComparisonZIP or TAR: Which One, and Why It MattersOne structural difference explains everything else: TAR does not compress, it only stacks; ZIP compresses each file on its own. Measured on 60 small source files, that is the difference between 1,809 bytes and 14,686.ExplainerPeak Normalisation Versus Loudness Normalisation, and the Target That Cannot Be ReachedScaling until the loudest sample hits a ceiling barely changes how loud something sounds. Measuring in LUFS does. This tool measures — in two passes, correctly — and then prints a result it never verified, which on ordinary material can be well over a decibel adrift.How-toRemoving the Sound From a Video Without Touching the PictureOne ffmpeg command, no encoder, and a result whose video stream is byte-for-byte the one you started with — verified by checksum. Plus why the file barely shrinks, and the difference between a silent track and no track at all.GuidePulling Still Frames Out of a Video — and Why They Look Softer Than the Video DidThree commands hide behind three buttons: one frame at a timestamp, a fixed number spread across the clip, or one every N seconds. Here are the exact arguments, the 60-frame ceiling and the reason a frame from the middle of a compressed clip can never be as sharp as a keyframe.GuideCutting and Joining Audio Without a Click at the JoinThat tick at the edit point is not a flaw in the software. It is a step in the waveform, and a step is broadband energy — which is the definition of a click. Here is the arithmetic, measured, and the two places you can put a cut so it never happens.
